Golf talent David Wicks has been selected to represent England for the first time at a leading amateur tournament.

Wicks, of Sedlescombe Golf Club, found out on Monday that he’d been picked to play in the Jones Cup Invitational in Georgia from February 5-7.

The Jones Cup is a 54-hole individual strokeplay event played at Ocean Forest Golf Club, which hosted the 2001 Walker Cup match. It brings together many of the finest amateurs from the United States and abroad.
